Nancy’s Bio:

Nancy Juetten is no stranger to pivoting and preparing to prosper during challenging times. When the Great Recession hit, her public relations firm crashed. She was forced to find a new way to serve quickly so she had enough money to pay the mortgage. She created her popular book Bye-Bye Boring Bio on a dare from a friend.  That book saved her bacon when she really needed to bring it home and became the foundation for a successful online business that grew despite her discomfort with technology. When ‘real life’ hit the fan for close friends and her own family in 2018, she and her husband Steve created the Life Goes On Roadmap system for personal financial information to help families escape the drama, trauma and chaos of finding crucial documents and personal financial information at the worst possible times.  Guiding entrepreneurs and families to prepare for opportunities has been a common theme throughout Nancy’s career. She’s the first to say that challenging times can be the catalyst to step into your finest hour of service, if you can just shift your mindset and get to work.

Today, people are looking beyond simply having a job. Instead of dedicating themselves to a company, putting their work above all else, they want to find a purpose in their work. They want to be and remain healthy, experience more joy and love, make more money and feel abundant. Making a profit feels much better when they’re also serving their families and communities with passion and purpose. It’s about balance and people find it in different ways: working for someone else’s company, large or small, or starting  their own small business. They want to have financial freedom so they can choose how to use their money, whether that’s getting out of debt, sending a child to college, improving their health, or traveling and seeing the world.

Having  your own business can allow you to create a product or provide a service of your own that aligns your passion with profit, leave a business to pass on to your children and, hopefully, give you time to spend with your family, as well as to travel.

In 2017 I read a powerful remark in Oprah magazine:

“There’s the thing you do for a living — and then there’s the thing you were born to do. If your dream is to make them one and the same, you’ve come to the right place.” (Patti Smith, Oprah Magazine, November 2010)

At that point, I had been running my own lifestyle business for 25 years. Reading this, I realized it perfectly described my life. I know there are many women who want to embark on that journey, and that is what drives me to share more about how I started my business, but more importantly, how I’ve been able to keep it going all of these years.

In 1993 I experienced a slip-and-fall accident that took me out of the workplace as I’d known it, working as a nurse in both traditional settings and home care. After an initial recovery, it became clear that the pain in my neck and, literally, my ass, was not going to relent. In fact, it would take more than six years to finally stop. As I accepted that pain was going to be a part of my every waking moment, it seemed a good time to make some changes in my career.

I’m not exactly certain what I was thinking when I jumped off the proverbial cliff. I decided to approach my massage therapist and friend to rent an office from her, and the next thing I knew I had an office, put office stuff in the office, and then started the long journey to discover everything I could about starting and running a small business. I hadn’t a clue. Since I had nothing better to do with my time as I could hardly walk across the room without crying out, why not do something that would take my mind off my pain? My Type A personality wouldn’t allow me to just lay around, so it seemed like a possible option.

As I was Registered Nurse and B.S.N., I decided to start a healthcare marketing company. Coincidentally the month that I had fallen, December 1992, I had met a woman who had an interesting printed product that she sold to doctors’ offices around the country that helped educate women about their pregnancy. She had been looking for someone to help her with sales, marketing, promotions, and more. I didn’t understand these concepts, but I told her I had developed a knack for educating and promoting others. After some discussions we agreed to work with each other, and I signed my first of many contracts. Over the span of eight years, she taught me a great deal about running a business and we ultimately took her materials to a whole new level.

And, so I began my journey to marry my passion with my purpose. Unknowingly, I had embarked on what I would later call my version of “El Camino de Santiago” that would have many twists and turns, go uphill and down, be full of a Pandora’s box full of possibilities and harrowing experiences as well.

Essentially, as Paulo Coelho, a Brazilian lyricist and novelist, put it, “And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the story of El Camino de Santiago, let me digress… It is a network of pilgrimages that lead to the shrine of Saint James the Great in the Santiago de Compostela cathedral in Spain where, perhaps, the remains of the saint are buried. Some people use it as a form of spiritual growth while others simply love to hike or bike it.

Now let me tell you that, in truth, I had no idea what I was doing when I started my company and became a tenant with an office lease. I was a nurse for gosh sake. What did I know about running a small business, never mind the fact that I was experiencing intractable pain? Well, as they say, “What you don’t know may hurt you.” In retrospect it was a good thing I didn’t know what the stats related to starting a small business, particularly for women, were or I might have thrown in the towel early.

I’d been practicing as an OB/GYN (obstetrics/gynecological) nurse since 1984. I migrated to home care in 1991 and then stumbled into marketing at my first home care company where I was hired to split my time doing presentations in doctors’ offices and home care for high risk pregnant women.

In a word, I simply “loved” my new-found passion. I’d had passion and intuition and purpose with my nursing career, but marketing really tapped my other talents for making connections, winning others over, thinking strategically, and communicating verbally. I would learn much later that my number one strength was being a connector (according to a Strength Finders 2.0 assessment).

So while I was trying everything to recover my physical well-being, I found myself running a business, and if that wasn’t enough, I ran for president of a small medical organization. Have I mentioned yet that I was also a single mother?

I became the president of the organization and, with the help of my team, grew it into a large body. It inspired me to start a female women’s business group which came to be known as Women in Small Biz. After about five years of running both groups, I chose to focus on Women in Small Biz and began hosting larger-scale meetings, conferences, and ultimately a summit.

After eight long years of dedication to both the product that I was selling and to the woman that I’d been representing, the time came for us to go our separate ways. It wasn’t easy, but we severed our ties and life moved on.

Why do I share my story? Because there are many ways to marry your passion with purpose; this is just one way that one woman made it happen. Although I’ve continued to evolve personally and in business—owning a boutique marketing, promotion, and publishing agency—it hasn’t always been easy, and I’ve had to pivot and adjust along the way. Even so, starting my business has been one of the best decisions that I have ever made.

Ask a woman if she feels empowered in all areas of her life? If she’s honest she’ll likely say, “no!” Why is that? It’s my belief that the answer lies within self-limiting beliefs that have kept us from fully expressing our talents, intelligence and power. My intention in writing, “Breaking Through Your Own Glass Ceiling: Unlocking Your Full and Hidden Potential With Your Master Key” is to help readers replace those self-limiting beliefs instead with empowering beliefs.

You’ve heard it said, “to do epic shit you need an epic belief in yourself!” That said, many of us, through no fault of our own, have a mindset that works against us. Whether that be self-sabotage, suffering from impostor syndrome or experiencing self-loathing due to body image, the impact can be devastating to our self-esteem and self-worth. Then when we go out into the workplace we don’t negotiate for more, we don’t’ apply for work that we could easily do nor ask for what we’re worth. I’ve found that in order to transform the mind one must then control the mind. Yes, we all need to learn to practice “mind control” over our own mind (not the mind of others).

To use this book effectively it is fair to say that you will also need to keep an open mind and be willing to practice modalities that impact your mind-set well until they work for you. (meditation, practice the power of presence, mantras, etc.). Using one or more of the recommended modalities will drive the results that you desire. The key will be to practice diligently.

In every chapter there’s a quote and stories that I hope you will embrace. Treat the quotes as mantras to use when you are triggered or about to enter into a situation or conversation when your empowerment will be tested. Train your brain to respond when you repeat the mantra or remember a particular story. Many of the stories are shared memories with other women’s souls who intersect mine and our quest to become master communicators, to speak pro-actively, to listen empathetically in ways that command respect and trust.

If you are a woman who has not owned your own home, has not had your own credit card, do not have or have not exercised your right to vote, or you don’t feel that you have a choice to stay or go in all of your personal or working relationships, then I invite you to dive deeper into this book to explore your belief system and embrace practices that enhance your inner power so that your voice can truly be heard and you come to feel empowered in all areas of your life.

How do I define empowerment? “Empowerment is about change, choice and power. It is the process of change by which individuals or groups with little or no power and ability make choices that affect their lives.” (Cheston & Kuhn)

In the words of Marian York (deceased, 2007): “Many women are still finding their voice and seeking the words that are right for them to fully express their talents, intelligence and power. Your words are your ambassadors, they open and shut doors as they tell others how to treat you and what to believe about you.” She often also said, “it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.”

Most people reading both the definition of empowerment presented here and Marian’s potent words of empowerment will agree that the conversation of empowerment is shared by both men and women, but that women bear the heavier load in living empowered lives.

Why do I believe we have the heavier load? Well, although the Sixty-Sixth Congress of the Unites States of America passed a joint resolution on June 4, 1919 and ratified on August 18, 1920 granting women the right to vote, many women around the world still cannot vote, still cannot own land, still cannot drive, still cannot own their own assets, still cannot raise their own children in their own way, still cannot decide their own sexual orientation, nor in many cases have their own bank account, and it kills me to know that even though I have these rights I have grown up in a world that still pays a woman less than a man.

There’s such and imbalance of power in our nation and around the world that the plight of women’s empowerment is likely not going to change for an estimated 100 more years. So for those reasons and more I believe that it’s time for women and the bold men who support them to rise up around the world to do whatever it takes to embrace women’s empowerment as a driver to change the globe. And, to the men who might read this book, I consider you bold and an ambassador for women and hope that you might also benefit from what I’m sharing. In any case, may we all see a benefit to the young women in our life so that their plight might be better than my mothers.

My best wish is that everyone reading embrace your true inner power to live an empowered life now and always. If you already feel empowered then I hope you will join me in mentoring women around the world who may benefit from learning what you have learned. Text the word WOMEN to 555-888 to stay in touch and share with us what you are doing to take action to empower women around the globe.

Warmly,

Bettina
